Not sure what to say?

Roy, so sorry about Wanda,she was a really neat person
We are thinking about you.

Oh my goodness, what can I say that hasn't been said. Except maybe that I was lucky. I was lucky to be loved by Mom. We of course like all mother and daughter in laws didn't always see eye to eye but we always figured it out. I think that is maybe because she didn't allow anyone to call me her daughter in law including myself. She called me her daughter and she treated me as such. We knew there was no time for long battles or disrespect. She knew I loved her unconditionally and I knew...

We would like to send our prayers and thoughts to all of the Chatham family. May she rest with angles now.

I spent countless days at the Chatham house since Chad was my best friend. Wanda and Roy always made me feel like one of the family.

I loved chatting with Wanda when she came in to Cedar Tree with Roy for breakfast when I worked there. It was always fun and lots of smiles. My condolences go out to Roy and family.

Whether in the classroom as a teacher's aide, in the computer lab, in the kitchen as the cook, or across the negotiating table, Wanda put the needs of the students at Bella Vista School first. She was a very special person and will be sorely missed. Our prayers are with all of the Chatham family.

She was a wonderful person that I had the privilege of knowing. (And I got to eat several of her cinnamon rolls). She will be missed!

We send our condolences to Roy and the family, and pray for peace and comfort for each of them.
